The Vice Mayor's Birthday Party

Last night, IGLTA Board Members and Staff were invited to the birthday party of Vice Mayor Philip Heylen. The event was extremely well attended - it seemed all of Antwerp was there. The event consisted of a great show featuring some amazing singers including the Vice Mayor himself. The event was incredibly festive - a real celebration. We all had a great time. Again, it was a great introduction to Antwerp after a great first day. Tonight is the opening night of Antwerp Pride so I'm definitely looking forward to that. Otherwise, meetings all day!
